expanse 9t in. ; fore-arm 1§ in. ; ear-conch (posteriorly) \ in. Three 

 specimens (females). 



Ehinolophus affinis, Horsfield (verus, apud Schinz ; nee apud Can- 

 tor?). 



Hylomys peguensis, nobis, n. s. So nearly resembling the H. suil. 

 lus of the archipelago, figured and described by Dr.S. Miiller, that I should 

 have considered it identical, were it not for the greater development of tail- 

 Total length 6 in.; of which tail f- in.; head If in. ; ear (posteriorly), \ in. ; 

 and hind-foot with claws 3 1 in. Adult male and female. Hitherto this 

 genus was supposed to be peculiar to the archipelago. 



Talpa leucura, nobis, J. A. S . XIX, 217- The Sylhet Mole, now for 

 the first time obtained so far south, and very remarkable as inhabiting 

 together with the Hylomys.

BtflZOMYS SUMATRENSIS, (Raffles). 



Mus robustulus, nobis, n. s. A stoutly formed Rat, with tail not quite 

 so long as the head and body, which latter measure together about 6 in. 

 Colour much as in M. decumanus, but the feet conspicuously whitish. 

 Tail with short setae of equal length throughout — not becoming longer 

 towards the tip. 



M. cinnamomeus, nobis, n. s. Like M. flavescens but smaller, with 

 proportionally longer tail, and softer fur of a fine cinnamon-colour (near- 

 ly as in M. oleraceus), with inconspicuous black tips; the under-parts 

 white, which is abruptly divided from the cinnamon hue above. Length 

 of head and body about 6 in., the tail 7! in., and hind-foot 1^ in. 



M. flavescens, Gray (?), var. ? A Rat very like M. flavescens, but 

 of a darker and much less rufescent hue above, would seem to abound in 

 Pegu and the Tenasserim provinces, and probably in the Malayan penin- 

 sula ; for we have a specimen of what appears to be the young of this 

 race from Malacca. It is probably the M. flavescens of Dr. Cantor's 

 Catalogue of Malayan animals; and the M. Berdmorei, nobis, should 

 perhaps be referred to it, but of this I do not feel confident at present. 



Mus ? Very like the young of M. nemoralis, nobis ; but the 



great development of the testes of the male would seem to indicate an 

 adult. Head and body 4 in. ; tail 4£ in. ; and hind-foot i| in. 



M. nitidulus, nobis, n. s. A house Mouse apparently, with tail equal 

 to the head and body, and uniformly furnished with minute seta) to the 

 end ; ears large and ample. Total length 6| in. ; hind-feet a little ex- 

 ceeding I in. ; and ears (posteriorly) T 9 F in. Colour nearly that of M.
